Well. is anyone going to be riding their Fazer this weekend?

or reside to the garage to do a bit of fiddleing?

As it's looks like it will be pissing it down all weekend.I have got to got to the classroom tomorrow, 4 Saturdays on the row,foster parent training.
Sundays are the only daytime to do things, well something.

I'd planned on going out as the weather forecast a couple of days ago had promised rain in the morning but then dry in the afternoon. Now it says rain all weekend so maybe not......

Depends on what forecast you check - if you have a hunt around, it's possible to find one that suits you

rustyrider · « **Reply #7 on:** 25 October 2013, 07:32:09 pm »

You're right, metcheck says it's going to piss down, BBC says it isn't and the Met Office say there's a 20% chance. All say it's going to get bloody windy though......

I go on holiday on Sunday so my bike will be parked up but I managed to get out for a while on Thursday so I'm happy it was a good day.

Next Tuesday looks like a good one to throw a sickie and get out on the bike

noggythenog · « **Reply #13 on:** 25 October 2013, 10:20:33 pm »

I thought last week would be my last ride of 2013...........& my last spin on my bike

But then wednesday ended up being really nice so now my bikes all filthy & i aint leaving it in the shed all winter being caked in crud......so im waiting on all these storms to blow through & ill be going somewhere first beforei wash it for winter....a nice gentle plod i reckon, a relaxing ride to end the season nicely.

slimwilly · « **Reply #14 on:** 25 October 2013, 11:17:39 pm »

Noggy. i will get down and meet you half way one Sunday

noggythenog · « **Reply #15 on:** 25 October 2013, 11:34:47 pm »

Cheers Bill, i know you would but its shit coz you only get sundays off but im working the next few weekends so looks like ill be lone wolf during my days off...its quite strange down here actually during the week at this time of year coz i can do 50 miles & not even come across another bike going in the same direction & i like a bit of friendly sport.

Theres plenty sheep though.........meh!!!

The figures given for wind speeds are the *average* speeds expected. Gusts can be a lot higher speed!

I took my Fazer 8 away for the weekend last weekend. Forecast was for absolutely crap weather round Dartmoor which is where I stayed. Turned out to be ok with last Sat being a brilliant day. Did 450 miles over the weekend and had a great time. Looks crap at the moment tho, and clocks change tonight, so even less chance of getting a long ride in. Oh well, maybe next weekend.

Out today. Seaways cafe Fridaythorpe. Gold Fazer with yellow screen parked up there as well. A bit wet on the way there. Dried up on the way back to Huddersfield although the wind was picking up. Staying in tomorrow. The sofa is looking tempting.
